Customer Reviews
Warranty support is terrible 
2008-06-01
I bought two EZXS55W units. One worked for nine months before two ports failed. I called Linksys to have it replaced and they told me I had to ship the unit to them before I got my replacement. I talked them into sending a replacment to me first so I could use the same box to return the defective unit. Then they said they would charge my credit card for the full MSRP until they received the failed unit, plus I had to pay for the shipping back to them. I refused, talked to a supervisor, and still no joy. The shipping would cost me almost as much as a new unit. This feedback is not just about the EZXS55W. It's about the company in general. They represent the typical greedy big business with their attitude concerning customer service and their products fail too often. I had two of their routers fail as well. No more Cisco/Linksys for me.
Nice ethernet switch

This Linksys switch does what it's supposed to do. I was able to connect all 3 computers to it and had no issues with operating all 3 at the same time. I trust Linksys's products
Linksys EZXS55W EtherFast 10/100 5-Port Workgroup Switch 2008-05-05
The switch arrived ontime and works as expected. The power supply block died after a few hours of work. Very disappointing
Installed With No Problem 
2008-05-02
I decided to go with an ethernet home network because of its speed and secutity. I had a cable running through the attic to another room where I had a computer attached to the network. I needed to add another computer in that room to the single cable and was not sure how best to proceed.
After doing some research on the web, which included learning the difference between a hub and a switch; I discovered the switch should do the job I needed done. I plugged the ethernet cable from the router into port one, and a desktop into port 2 and the laptop into port 3. It all connected and worked properly once I had set up the laptop to connect to the network. It is now working perfectly and the switch is invisible to the network, but is quietly doing its job.
I am using the Linksys router and switch and they are doing the job I needed done. I am completely satisfied with the product.
If you need 4 extra ports away from your router .... 2008-03-13
... don't hesitate to get this. Small, plug and play -- and for me it has worked for about a year with no problems.
additional info for international buyers 2008-08-06
Just adding that the Linksys EZXS55W 5 port switch purchased on july/2008 came with a class "A" switching power supply for any voltage 100-240 at 50 or 60 hz ie. "world voltage" ,, this is almost never listed in the specs but for me this was a prime consideration..
BEWARE!!!!! Power adaptor stops working l-o-n-g before the switch gives out. 
2008-07-21
The product works fine....5 stars on the workgroup switch.
BUT the power adapter stopped working today in the middle of a meeting....zero stars on the power adapter!
I contacted LinkSys and after 1.5 hours on the phone, and 5 DIFFERENT PEOPLE later, I finally got a CustSvc person who could actually help me. (Their TechSupport group is absolutely useless! The TS rep kept asking me what I meant by the *power adapter is dead*. I felt like I was in the Monty Python "Dead Parrot" routine...are you KIDDING me?!)
We requested a power supply plug to be sent out, only to find out that they only have version 1 power cords available. There are no power adapter cords available for model EZXS55W, version 2 or 3. Mine's a ver3. (ver 2 & 3 powercords are on backorder with none expected in receiving anytime soon).
So I'm sitting here with a $20 paperweight. (gritting teeth and snarling...)
Linksys is still pretty good! 2008-07-09
Installation was a snap! I wanted to connect a couple of things to the internet in my living room, so I bought this switch. Plugged in my DVR receiver, a PS3, and and IPTV STB all to it. No set-up or configuring at all. Just plugged in and boom, instant internet to everything.
Always great 2008-06-18
This little switch is a great buy for the money, a lot of features in a little package. If you need 4 more ports, this is a great buy!
compact, works great, easy to set up 2008-06-02
This is a simple commodity product that works fine. Tiny complaint is that the cables come out of the front of the box, would be better if they attached at the back.
